Neotropical Dragons are a breed that originate in rainforests. They are fun-loving and enjoy lounging on tree branches, eating whatever fruit they find. They are also often found sunning themselves on rocks, using their large wings to soak up the rays. In the summer, males compete for mates by showing off their striped wings and gliding in spirals down the tree trunks. It is said that the larger the wings, the more likely the male will attract a suitable mate.

Dragons are highly-intelligent reptilian creatures that—from a human perspective, at least—appear to live forever. Many different varieties of dragon exist, each with their own unique qualities, habitats, and behavior. Adolescence in dragons is usually marked by the growth of a hatchling’s wings, although not all breeds of dragons grow wings and some breeds have other traits that indicate the beginning of maturation. In Galsreim, dragons and humans coexist peacefully.

Rachelle Batrelli is a self-centered, egotistical dragon with a rebellious side. She's cave born, and she will tell you, having no parents is pretty fun. She is a "loose" dragon, partying as much as she can before she loses conciousness. Rachelle actually wants a stable life, one that her husband, Ollie Gentry, has given her. She tries to be a better dragon for him, even though he keeps saying that he loves her just the way she is. She and her daughter, Roxanne Gentry, are close like friends. They often go out together, even though Roxanne is a frozen hatchling. This secretly bugs her mother. She loves her other daughter, Julia Gentry, but she often worries about her choice in men: she chose Kevin Rollark, the mean inbred!
